EGMONT (Royal Institute for International Relations)

www.irri-kiib.be

The Royal Institute for International Relations, founded in 1947 by eminent Belgian political leaders, is an independent think-tank based in Brussels. Its interdisciplinary research is conducted in a spirit of total academic freedom. A platform of quality information, a forum for debate and analysis, a melting pot of ideas in the field of international politics, the Institute's ambition - through its publications, colloquia, seminars and recommendations - is to make a useful contribution to the decision-making process.

Drawing on the expertise of its own research fellows, as well as that of external specialists, both Belgian and foreign, it provides analysis and suggests international policy options that are meant to be as operational as possible.

Benefiting from the role acquired by Brussels in the global arena and from its prestigious setting in the Egmont Palace, the Institute offers an ideal forum to visiting Heads of State, Heads of government, representatives of international organisations, ministers and other distinguished political figures, Belgian and foreign.
